I was blessed to spend Saturday morning at the Hole in the Wall Camp, founded by Paul Newman as a respite for kids with serious illnesses.
The portrait sessions are set up by Flashes of Hope who work with volunteer photographers providing families with portraits of their young children in hospital or camp surroundings.
The sessions are done really quickly so the kids don’t miss any of the fabulous opportunities the camp has to offer; each of my kids gave me a huge hug or a firm handshake after the 10 minute sessions. I am truly blessed to have healthy children, and to interact with these extra special kids is a gift. This is a session I’ll never forget-kids from all over the world, and down the road; acting goofy for those I couldn’t communicate with, and was rewarded with goofy laughing that transcends language barriers.
I can’t wait for the July session.
